#7160 ANDROID: COMI speech doesn't work after 1.6 to 1.8 upgrade

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

I've been playing COMI on ScummVM 1.6 under Android Lollipop (CyanogenMod) on a Galaxy S2 for a while, and a few weeks back the apps store prompted me to upgrade to the latest ScummVM 1.8.

Since the upgrade, the game loads and plays but the speech no longer works; despite the game settings being set to "Speech" the game always uses subtitles but at maximum speed which makes it almost impossible to play.

According to the Game settings, the version I am playing is:

id: comi
Name: The Curse of Monkey Island (Windows/English)
Language: English
Platform: Windows

Many thanks,

Mark.

Is it original or repacked version? Could you please enlist the game files? E.g. 'ls -lR' or 'dir /w /s'

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

It's from "The Monkey Island Bounty Pack":

Hmmm. Could you please also provide contents of the following file:

Android/data/org.scummvm.sdl/files/.cache/scummvm/logs/scummvm.log

Please make sure it tells something like Starting 'The Curse of Monkey Island'.

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Here it is. It doesn't seem to have the "Starting..." message included though?

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Err, no. The thing is that this file gets overwritten on every ScummVM restart, and it looks that you launched it without running COMI. Could you please start ScummVM SDL, then start COMI, skip the intro and click on some object, so speech is supposed to be played. Then send the resulting scummvm.log

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

I've just tried again and that's all that I see in the file, except that the timestamps update themselves?

[Eugene Sandulenko]

OK, another attempt (the thing is that we cannot reproduce the bug here):

1. Open file Android/data/org.scummvm.sdl/files/.config/scummvm/scummvm.ini
2. In the first section [scummvm] add on a separate line, right after '[scummvm]': debugLevel=5
3. Run COMI, skip to the first scene, wait for 'Blast ye scurvy dogs!'
4. Attach scummvm.log

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Don't forget to remove the line after testing, as it is quite noisy.

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Ah, and also please attach the mentioned scummvm.ini as a whole (particularly sections [scumm] and [comi] are of interest).

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Okay that looks better - here they are.

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Thanks. As you see, it has difficulties with reading your voice bundles:

BundleMgr::decompressSampleByName() Failed finding sound CNGT004.IMX

Could you please provide md5 sum of your files voxdisk1.bun and voxdisk2.bun?

Here are the references:

MD5 (VOXDISK1.BUN) = c25c4a1a0ebdcfa50f4027541b096326
MD5 (VOXDISK2.BUN) = b47a3d4452d64e2283c7982c0726d81b

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Oh now this is interesting:

15649856f32c162538745cf4094ade55 voxdisk1.bun
ee1e9b7f1b2a91548cdc36d6137ab883 voxdisk2.bun

Let me go double-check against the originals on my PC.

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

On the PC I have the below:

c25c4a1a0ebdcfa50f4027541b096326 voxdisk1.bun
ee1e9b7f1b2a91548cdc36d6137ab883 voxdisk2.bun

I've just copied voxdisk1.bun back over onto the phone and it seems to be working again!

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Great, thanks for checking. Closing the bugreport as invalid.

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Indeed, checked again and it's all fine - thanks for taking the time to look into this. Just a thought - if you know the hashes of the files for all game variants, would it be possible to have a "Verify" feature in the game menu that provides a warning if the hashes don't match an inbuilt list? Or does this really happen so rarely in bug reports that it's not worth the bother?
